Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes for textiles and inks. It also serves in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, including compounds with analgesic or anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure allows for functionalization in agrochemicals, contributing to the development of certain herbicides and plant growth regulators. Additionally, it finds use in the creation of specialty polymers and antioxidants due to its phenolic and amine groups, which provide reactivity and stability.
